Recipes From Grandma Pearl – Raisin Buns

I stand by the fact that my Grandmother Pearl is a wonderful baker. One of the enjoyable baked goods I love is a good raisin bun with a cup of tea. This makes for a quick breakfast or a nice snack at break time.

Now you have the opportunity to make your own. If you would rather purchase this traditional foodstuff, you can stop by the Gros Morne Resort Gas Bar, St. Paul’s, NL. They sell a limited selection of baked bread, buns and rolls. Six raisin buns sell for a low price of $2.99 or twelve for $5.00.

Enjoy!

About Live Rural NL

I am a youth living in rural Newfoundland & Labrador that will share stories of culture, tradition, heritage, business, travel, geography and other posts relating to any rural.
I completed a Bachelor of Commerce Hons. (Coop) degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland & Labrador. I currently live and work on the Great Northern Peninsula, where I was born and raised. However, I have lived and worked internationally and travelled to more than 30 countries around the globe. On October 11, 2011 I was elected the youngest Member to Represent the people of the Straits -White Bay North in the Provincial Legislature of Newfoundland & Labrador.

Just can’t quite understand the instructions ??? When do you add the butter ? To the dry ingredients? Do the eggs, vanilla and milk get mixed together, then added to the dry ingredients also? How bout the raisins, When are they added ? … Have never made raisin buns !!!

Add the custard powder to the milk with the vanilla as well. Mix all the dry ingredients together with the butter until mixed well. Than add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients with the rasins and mix well.

Do you melt the butter? Do you cut it in to the flour while cold to make it crumbly, like making a flaky scone or pastry? Do you use the butter at room temperature? I like the idea of custard powder. It must make it light and rich tasting.
